It is really hard to find good terminal colours for both light and dark themes.
I've replaced uses of 'bright' colours with bold as it seems to work better. git-diff does the same thing.
Explicit black and white colours are available, but you can't assume the default colour!

Compiler error messages is such a deep topic. Even in rustc, a mature compiler that invests effort in diagnostic quality, I find interesting issues every few months.
(The majority have been fixed pretty quickly, so it's really rewarding to file issues.)
It's really satisfying fixing crashes in rust-analyzer. You can start from a panic message and dig until you've got a tiny Rust program that triggers the problem.
(It's usually an issue with incomplete source files breaking invariants.)
Semver has a really odd relationship with software maturity. I'd take a v0.21 project over a v1.0 project.
